Chapter 214 Resigning on Behalf of Father
Inside Xiaoyao Tower in Beijing
The two brothers of the "Second Concubine" bowed
"I remember I only called you. What's wrong? Are you still so timid? Can I eat you?" Chu Tunan looked at Wen Xi and Su Jinxiu who came in with a bit of displeasure.
"Yes, it's just that the Second Imperial Concubine invited me here for something important. My cousin and I have something important to discuss, so we decided to go together." Wen Xi was neither humble nor overbearing, and no longer looked timid. He seemed to have changed... She couldn't tell exactly where he had changed. Yes, how could she tell? From the moment she came through, it seemed that he was timid.
That time, she was saved by him and died after hitting a rock. Unexpectedly, someone seemed to release a poisonous snake just after she came through. As a criminal police, she reacted very quickly, picked up the dagger that fell on the ground, and ruthlessly cut the snake into pieces.
The children, who were only six to ten years old, were frightened. Even the servants nearby protected their young masters from being killed.
Only Wen Xi asked her how she was? Was she hurt? At that time, she was attracted by this voice, and memories came to her. She and him were childhood sweethearts. Although she teased him, she was mainly protecting him. His brother and sister were not good people. Wen Xi held his hand and went to find the adults.
At that time, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, those who pleaded guilty were all implicated, and the main culprit was being held by Wen Xi.
"Prime Minister, my daughter is naughty and scared the young lady. I deserve death. Please punish her. Nan'er, come and kneel down," said Father Chu, looking terrified.
"What did I do wrong? Someone released a poisonous snake to bite me. If it weren't for the eldest son saving me, I don't think I would have died from the bite. I was just trying to save myself. What did I do wrong?" The damn evil slave era has been reformed. Is she a transmigrated soul? This is so bizarre. There is no way to know if she can accept it. Time is tight and she has no time to care...
"Lord Chu, your daughter is right." Prime Minister Wen's eyes seemed to be filled with poison.
"Kneel down quickly, you rebellious girl. Do you want us to die without a burial place?" he whispered.
The servant pressed her legs hard and she knelt on the ground. She struggled in vain and had to give up.
"Every cause has its effect. If they hadn't bullied me and released the snake, I wouldn't have been scared. If it happened again, I would still kill that poisonous beast in the same way." Chu Tunan's eyes were filled with hatred, and his eyes were red.
Wen Cheng laughed instead. "I heard that your daughter could catch snakes with her bare hands when she was five years old. Now that she's ten years old, she can get rid of snakes naturally. She's really someone who was trained by a big family. Very good, very courageous."
At noon, he knew what the prime minister meant by courage. He joined forces with others in the court and said that his daughter was courageous and decisive. There were bandits in the suburbs recently, and he asked her to lead people to suppress the bandits. How ridiculous! She was only ten years old.
Did he want his daughter to die in such a tragic way just because she frightened him? Did he really think that the Chu family in Yandu was easy to bully?
"Your Majesty, although my daughter is a little naughty, she is totally unqualified to fight against bandits. There are many military generals in our dynasty, and she is just a child." Chu's father burst into tears. It is really not easy to stay in the capital. He must resign.
"Your Majesty, why don't we ask the person concerned, what do you think of our young general?" The Prime Minister suggested, Xue Zhan joined in, and the ministers seconded the proposal.
The corrupt court disappointed Chu's father. He finally understood why the two elders of the two dynasties, one retired and the other guarded the northwest, and the family did not return to Beijing.
It was ridiculous that his daughter was summoned in just a moment. He had planned it all along. Yes, how could he forget that he was the prime minister, the prime minister who was second only to the emperor and above everyone else...
Chu Tunan looked at his father's face and shook his head. He loved her. If she didn't go, she would be killed.
"Tunan is willing to go, but please, Your Majesty, agree to one condition for Tunan."
"How dare a little kid negotiate with the emperor?" A minister pointed his eyes at Chu Tunan.
"Oh, so you all know that Tunan is just a little kid." Chu Tunan laughed at them.
"Tell me about it," Emperor Yuan teased her jokingly.
"Your Majesty, please allow my father to resign and return home. Also, since you have asked me to lead the troops to suppress the bandits, will you listen to me?" Chu Tunan said, and his father's eyes were moist and he murmured "Nan'er"
"I can agree to your request, but can you win?" As expected of a superior, all he cares about is winning or losing, no matter how dirty the means...
"Tunan can issue a military order. Even if you die, you must kill the last person. If you survive, you will have completed the emperor's mission." Chu Tunan knelt on the ground.
"allow"
Ten days later, she came back half dead. She won. That day, she became famous. After that day, the entire Chu family, including the side branches, moved back to Yandu. After that day, she never saw Wen Xi again.
Coward, I can't protect you anymore, take care of yourself...
"Second Imperial Concubine?" Wen Xi pulled her out of her memories.
"Oh, nothing, I just want to reminisce about the past. Is that not possible?" Chu Tunan said bitterly.
"The Second Princess is joking. I am a man, so it is better for me to keep my distance from the Second Princess. It seems that there is no need for us to reminisce about the past." Wen Xi said indifferently.
"you……"
"Hey, Changqing, why are you here? Is Brother Wen Xi here too?" Zhao Keke's voice sounded. Wen Xi was very busy. Su Jinxiu didn't know what he was busy with.
"What are you doing?"
"That girl is coming, let me hide quickly"
"I didn't even know that you were afraid of my cousin?"
Chu Tunan also frowned and asked someone to invite her in. She wanted to see what Wen Xi would do.
"Ah, uh, Nan... Second Imperial Concubine." When Zhao Keke heard that it was the Second Imperial Concubine who invited her in, she didn't want to go anymore.
"Come in, Keke, why are you so distant?" This is the first time Chu Tunan has seen Zhao Keke since they got married.
"Ah, hahaha, okay." Zhao Keke laughed awkwardly. When she saw Wen Xi again, she rushed over angrily, stood next to him, and stepped on him. "What do you think? It's all because of you."
Wen Xi seemed helpless and rubbed her head. "Let's talk about it when we get back. What are you doing here?"
"It's time to eat," Zhao Keke also greeted Su Jinxiu, "My cousin is here too."
"I thought you were blind," Su Jinxiu said venomously.
Well, I should talk to my cousin first.
"I don't know when Keke and Master Wen became so close?" Chu Tunan was a little...
"I guess the Second Imperial Concubine doesn't know about the affairs of little people like us. We have been close since childhood, but we don't talk much when there are many people around." Wen Xi replied with a gentle smile
It seemed that after Zhao Keke came, Wen Xi became more docile, no longer as sarcastic or sarcastic as at the beginning.
"That's right. After all, I left the capital when I was ten years old..."
Su Jinxiu didn't want to argue with her any more, so he said, "Since the Second Imperial Concubine is fine, the three of us will leave first."
"Hasn't Keke had his meal yet? Why don't we get together, just like we did before?" Chu Tunan tried to persuade Zhao Keke to stay.
